Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Check that the power switch is on and that the fixture is securely connected to the power source (plugged in or hardwired).

Flickering light.

Try replacing the light bulb, as a faulty bulb can cause flickering. Also, check the connection of the bulb in the socket.
